Mangaka really doing the heavy lifting with this story
Like, seriously, part of the fun is how the story doesn't take itself seriously most of the time and Rain is a clown, the original sounds so fucking generic lol
Now I'm reminded of the swordmaster manga that apparently is a lot better than the light novel, so much that when it got anime adaptation based on the light novel everyone got disappointed and started asking why it's so different, apparently to the point that the mangaka had to talk about it due to how poorly people reacted to the anime :v
